The polynomial 8x^2 – 8x + 2 – 5 + x is simplified to 8x^2 – gx – h. What are the value of g and h? a) g = –9 and h = 7 b) g = 9 and h = –3 c) g = –7 and h = 7 d) g = 7 and h = 3

OpenStudy (lynfran):

8x^2-8x+2-5+x 8x^2-8x+x-3 8x^2-7x-3 what is g? what is h?

OpenStudy (lynfran):

look where g and h is in the given expression

OpenStudy (lynfran):

do u see g=7 and h=3

OpenStudy (lokiando):

oh i thougt it was b

OpenStudy (lynfran):

well changing a varible dosnt matter its called a dummy variable because it doesnt affect the outcome of the solution

OpenStudy (lynfran):

its usually ax^2-bx-c
